A top Pentagon official has attacked this week’s widely watched congressional hearing on UFOs, calling the claims “insulting” to employees who are investigating sightings and accusing a key witness of not cooperating with the official U.S. government investigation. Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick’s letter, published on his personal LinkedIn page and circulated Friday across social media, criticizes much of the testimony from a retired Air Force intelligence officer that energized believers in extraterrestrial life and produced headlines around the world. Retired Air Force Maj. David Grusch testified Wednesday that the U.S. has concealed what he called a “multi-decade” program to collect and reverse-engineer “UAPs,” or unidentified aerial phenomena, the official government term for UFOs. Part of what the U.S. has recovered, Grusch testified, were non-human “biologics,” which he said he had not seen but had learned about from “people with direct knowledge of the program.” A career intelligence officer, Kirkpatrick was named a year ago to lead the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, which was intended to centralize investigations into UAPs. The Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies have been pushed by Congress in recent years to better investigate reports of devices flying at unusual speeds or trajectories as a national security concern.

Related Companies has landed in Jersey City as the company sets its sights on its first multifamily development in the Garden State. Stephen Ross’s firm threw $58 million at Mahbod Nia’s Veris Residential to acquire a significant land parcel in Jersey City, Commercial Observer reported. The Hudson River waterfront site, Harborside 4, will be remade into an 800,000-square-foot luxury multifamily property.  The deal, brokered by Newmark and Cushman & Wakefield, expands Related’s multifamily portfolio beyond major cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Adam Spies and Doug Harmon from Newmark spearheaded the transaction, representing both the buyer and seller and collaborating with teams from Cushman & Wakefield and CBRE.  Veris previously hinted at the sale of Harborside 4 in its second-quarter earnings call, but the real estate investment trust didn’t specific details, keeping the buyer’s identity confidential.  The REIT also mentioned being in the process of selling Harborside 6, a neighboring 245,364-square-foot office building, for $188 million, though the purchaser remained unidentified. The sale of Harborside 4 comes on the heels of the previous sale of Harborside 1, 2, and 3 in April, when 601W Companies acquired the office buildings for $420 million. – James Van Bramer Read
